Privacy & Security

Pilgrim Bank takes seriously the issue of your privacy on the Internet. Your relationship with us is important, so we take the responsibility of safeguarding our web site visitors’ privacy seriously. It is important that you know how we collect and treat the information we receive on the Internet.

Web Site Security
Safeguarding information in the age of technology presents new challenges for all of us. At Pilgrim Bank, your trust is our greatest asset. Any personal information that you may provide through our web site will be viewed only by authorized employees and will be used solely for answering your questions or conducting Bank business. Our employees are trained to respect the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of customer information.

Web site privacy
In general, you can visit Pilgrim Bank on the World Wide Web without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not e-mail addresses, of visitors. This information is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. Pilgrim uses this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.

For your protection, we suggest that you do not send confidential information to us at any time via e-mail.

OUR PRIVACY PLEDGE TO YOU
As a customer of Pilgrim Bank, you provide us with important information about yourself. We believe it is our responsibility to safeguard your personal and financial information. While some financial institutions share account-owner information with other businesses, we are committed to keeping it confidential.

We have developed the following privacy policy to ensure you the confidentiality you deserve. You have our promise that we will adhere to these guidelines. It is our pledge to you.

NOTICE OF YOUR FINANCIAL PRIVACY RIGHTS
We, our, and us, when used in this notice, mean Pilgrim Bank. This is our privacy notice for our customers. When we use the words “you” and “your” we mean the following types of customers:

All of our consumer customers who have a continuing relationship with us, such as:

We will tell you the sources for nonpublic personal information we collect on our customers. We will tell you what measures we take to secure that information.

We first define some terms.

Nonpublic personal information means information about you that we collect in connection with providing a financial product or service to you. Nonpublic personal information does not include information that is available from public sources, such as telephone directories or government records.
An affiliate is a company we own or control, a company that owns us or controls us, or a company that is owned or controlled by the same company that owns or controls us. Ownership does not mean complete ownership, but means owning enough to have control.
A nonaffiliated third party is a company that is not an affiliate of ours.

THE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT
We collect nonpublic personal information about you from the following sources:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other forms;
  • Information about your transactions with us;
  • Information about your transactions with nonaffiliated third parties;
  • Information from a consumer reporting agency;
  • Information required by the USA Patriot Act necessary to verify your identification.

INFORMATION WE DISCLOSE ABOUT YOU
We do NOT disclose any nonpublic personal information about you to anyone, except as permitted by law.

We may disclose the following information to companies that perform marketing services on our behalf or to other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements:

  • Information we receive from you on applications or other forms, such as your name, address, social security number, assets, and income;
  • Information about your transactions with us or others, such as your account balance, payment history, parties to transactions, and credit card usage; and
  • Information we receive from a consumer reporting agency, such as your creditworthiness and credit history.

THE CONFIDENTIALITY, SECURITY, AND INTEGRITY OF YOUR NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION
We restrict access to nonpublic personal information about you to those employees who need to know that information to provide products or services to you. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

NONPUBLIC PERSONAL INFORMATION AND FORMER CUSTOMERS
We do not disclose nonpublic personal information about former customers, except as permitted by law.

In Conclusion
Pilgrim Bank’s web site may contain links to other sites on the Internet.
